Just recently joined the sides of my fuselage together, and was asked how I decidedwhich way to orient the 1/2" x 1" cross-pieces and diagonals on the top andbottom of the fuselage. i.e. when viewed from above, are the cross-pieces 1/2"wide or 1" wide?I don't think it really makes any significant difference, and the plans don't reallysay which way they go. I went with the 1" dimension when viewed from above.My decision was based on the highly scientific method wherein one looks atthe plans, and decides that the cross-pieces appear to be drawn about the samewidth as the longerons (which we know are 1" x 1").Anyway, I was just curious as to what the consensus is out there in Piet-builderland (if there is a consensus). So the question is: Which way did you orientyour top and bottom fuselage cross pieces?Bill C.Read this topic online here:

Mine have the 1" dimension in the vertical direction. Yours will fall outof the sky if you don't change it.I can't believe it makes any difference and it was too long ago for me toeven begin to remember my reasoning on doing it the way I did.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----
